A credible rival to MS Office, OpenOffice includes powerful
applications for making text documents, spreadsheets, presentations,
diagrams, and databases, as well as HTML and XML documents. Not only
does it let you edit basic documents, such as letters and faxes, it also
handles equations and complex and multipart documents with
bibliographies, reference tables, and indexes.

The interface is similar to that of MS Office, and even advanced
Office users will find almost everything they're used to: templates,
collaborative features (versions, recording changes), macros, and even a
programming language. OOo, as it's known, lets you open and save
documents in formats as diverse as MS Office formats, PDF, HTML, and
XML. It can also import files from those formats, as well as WordPerfect
and others. However, it normally saves files in the open-standard Oasis
OpenDocument XML format, for maximum compatibility with other
applications.

The latest versions of OpenOffice have seen a spurt of growth in the
extensions available for the program. These include templates for
professional writers, an export tool for bidirectional functionality
with Google Docs, blog publishing, and others. Blog publishing
assistance especially strikes us as a natural area for word processing
to grow toward.

We were pleased to find that stability has improved too. No doubt
about it, the multilingual and crossplatform OpenOffice is a compelling
option for anyone in search of an alternative office suite.

Better by design:

Developed over twenty years, OpenOffice is a mature,
reliable, product. OpenOffice was designed from the start as a single
piece of software - not bolted together from separate software packages.
This makes it very consistent and easy to use - what you learn in one
application is immediately usable in another. The context-sensitive help
works across all applications, unobtrusively providing the precise help
you need. You can even open any type of document from any application -
OpenOffice 3 is really one piece of software. It also runs on all major
computing platforms - Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Sun Solaris, Apple
Mac - isn't that great!

Better for you:

OpenOffice 3 contains all the office software you
need, in one single package. You don't have to worry which version to
install: one installation program provides everything. The installation
also includes features which some expensive rivals do not - for example,
the ability to create .pdf files when you want to guarantee what the
recipient sees on their computer. There is also a growing range of
extensions: additional features that any developer can provide.
OpenOffice releases release software several times a year so you can
take advantage of new features as quickly as possible.

Honest software:

OpenOffice 3 is developed using an open-software, "no
secrets" approach. Anyone can look at the programs and suggest
improvements, or fix bugs. Anyone can report problems or request
enhancements, and anyone can see the response from other users or
developers. The status of current and future releases is displayed on a
public wiki, so you can decide if and when you want to upgrade to take
advantage of new features. Anyone used to commercial software and its
hyping and marketing speak will find OpenOffice 3 refreshingly
different. Enjoy the benefits of open-source!
